Our Learning Community...
We are excited to welcome our students back to school on Monday, August 21st! Our campus is buzzing with energy as our staff has been busy preparing for your arrival!
Our PTA is hosting a Playdate Saturday, August 19th at Murray Ridge Park from 10:00 am - Noon, if you are around stop by, we would love to see you!
On the 1st day of school our gates will open 5 minutes early at 7:30 am. Families are welcome to walk their child to their classroom to meet the teacher and see the classroom. At the 7:45 am bell we ask all to say good-bye and exit the campus promptly. Our PTA invites you to join them at Maggie’s Cafe at 8:00 am for Tears & Cheers coffee. It is a great way to connect with other Jones families!
If you received last week's Dolphins Updates, some items below will look familiar and some items are new! We have been enrolling new families to our school community and want to make sure everyone is set up for success!
As you may have heard, the weather forecast predicts a bit of rain over the weekend and on Monday. While raindrops may fall from the sky, our spirits remain high as we anticipate a wonderful start to the school year.
We kindly request that you send your children with: a coat, closed toe shoes and an umbrella if desired. Our staff is well-prepared to guide the students smoothly through the day, making sure that the rain doesn't hinder their enthusiasm for learning and reconnecting with friends.
Remember, a little rain can add a touch of adventure to the day and create unique memories. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Here's to a fantastic year ahead, rain or shine!
Over the summer supplies are ordered for each grade level based their specific need and our supply room is restocked for the school year. Crayons, markers, glue sticks, journals, scissors, paper, tissues, etc. are purchased with our site funding and will be provided for all of our students.
You may receive a wishlist of additional items that would support your child's classroom in general or for a special project, these donations are welcome, but never required.
While we do not need the basic supplies brought to school, we would encourage families to have some of these materials at home for children to explore and create with.
The first day/week of school is especially busy at drop off and pick up so please plan accordingly.
Arrival gates will open five minutes early at 7:30 a.m. on the first day of school and all students will enter the Gates by the front office or the cafe for breakfast.
On the 1st day of school parents/guardians/caregivers are welcome to walk students to their classrooms to meet the teacher and see the classroom for a few minutes (You will have more time at Back-to-School Night). If you plan on walking your child to their classroom on the 1st day, make sure to walk to campus or park on a side street (do NOT park in the Bus Zone or Loading Zone directly in front of the school). This is a special opportunity for the first day of school, starting on day two families will say goodbye their children at the gate.
Our Jones PTA will be hosting a gathering at Maggie’s Cafe immediately after morning drop off on the first day of school, we hope you can make it!
On Friday, August 18th, in the late afternoon/early evening you will be able to login to Power School Parent Portal to find out your child’s classroom assignment. There will also be class assignments posted in the front office window and will be available over the weekend.
On the first day of school we will have additional lists posted in front of the school and staff members there to help you navigate.
Please note that classroom placements are subject to change due to sitewide enrollment. Early October schools engage in the reorganization process and at that time we may need to add a classroom or close a classroom based on enrollment.
We do not accept requests for teacher placements.There are a number of factors that go into creating balanced classrooms and our team works collaboratively to set all of our students up for success.
